Better That the Candidate Spoke Direct From Heart When Bill O’Dwyer was running for district attorney in Brooklyn he usually appeared on the platform with a piece of paper in his hand ostensibly covered with notes of the address he was about to make. He would look around the audi ence, say “Hello, Joe,” to one lis tener, “Howya, Harry,” to anoth er. Then he’d smile and tell the audience: “I didn’t,know I would have so many friends here tonight. I don’t need notes to talk to you people,” and he’d throw away the paper. “To you I can speak from here,” indicating his heart. A curious reporter one night picked up the discarded paper. It was an old laundry bill. ★ LEND FOR VICTORY ★ Make Your Money Count; ★ Buy U. S.

NHOW you are going to see some real fighting. That is what thousands of persons said, some of whom might have said it to you, when word was flashed from Aus tralia that General Douglas MacArthur was down there to as sume the supreme United Nations command in that region. Ever since the war in the Pacific region began, the story of the ground warfare has been continually, and dishearteningly the same but with one exception. Newspaper and radio accounts have related of continual retreats and, finally, surrenders by the Allied armies. But the brilliant exception to all this defensive warfare is and was the<s activity of General MacArthur, his aides, and his native and American troops fighting on the Bataan pen insula. Not only did MacArthur stop the Japs—and thereby causing the com mander, Gen. Masaharu Homma, to commit hara kiri—but he also put through two brilliant, strategical of fensives which prevented further enemy advances at the time. Reason for Australians’ Respect. Such immediate background of this brilliant general, this Number One officer of the United Nations, was the cause for the increasing clamor of the Australians to have MacArthur come down there and help them, with American, British, Australian, and native soldiers, re sist the Japs in the last Pacific re gion stand. So, after receiving or ders on Washington’s birthday from the President to go to Australia, MacArthur made plans with his suc cessor, Maj. Gen. Jonathan May hew Wainwright, a brilliant tacti cian, for further defense at Bataan. ‘Mac’s the Man.’ When a “roving reporter” for one of the outstanding Midwest newspa pers went out to interview pedes trians as to hovfr they felt about the new shakeup in military control in the Pacific region whereby General MacArthur was given complete mil itary control, the consensus of opin ion was, “Mac’s the Man.” One fellow said that it was the best news he heard since the U. S. entered the war. A housewife said Since General MacArthur has taken his new command in Australia to stop, and then push back, the Japanese drive, Maj. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright (left), shown talking with Gen. MacArthur, has been ap pointed to the command of the forces that outfought, despite 20 to 1 odds, the Jap forces on the Bataan peninsula in the Philippine Islands. Like Father, Like Son General Douglas MacArthur, and his deceased father, Lieut. Gen. Ar thur MacArthur, experienced mili tary lives exceedingly interesting because of their striking similarity as available information proves. Lieut. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, like his son, Douglas, was advanced over the heads of many older offi cers to more important posts. HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, PERRY, GEORGIA that, “MacArthur is the man for the job.” A student on his way to his class at university said that if anyone can successfully “Slap the Japs,” MacArthur is the one that can do it. A not too busy auto salesman said that the general’s appointment was the most impor tant move since the United States was stabbed in the back. Such opinions as these of Mr. and Mrs. America reflect—it is almost certain to say—the opinion of this nation, and all Allied nations as a whole. Even in London, the news papers there, commenting on the first time that a foreign general has taken command of defense in Brit ish dominions, had nothing but en couraging, hopeful, and optimistic words. Fame After Career Ended. Fame came to General MacAr thur after his career had ended! For it was in 1935 that he retired from the army after making a “name” for himself as officer of World War I, and decorated for con spicuous courage. His decorations are reportedly more numerous than any other officer in the service. Back in 1903 he was graduated from military academy, heading his class. Ever since then he has been showing his fellow officers and his men under him that he is “one of the men” who knows how to fight. Son of a Civil war hero, Lieut. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, General Douglas went with his father as an aide when he went to Tokyo on a Both father and son, Arthur and Douglas MacArthur, showed great strategical talent. One of the fa ther’s Civil war tactics of battle eventually became a war depart ment standard officer examination. The son’s strategy in the Philip pines is well known to all newspa per readers, who have been fol lowing his brilliant leadership. Future General?? Little four-ycar-old Arthur Mac- Arthur, son of General and Mrs. MacArthur, is starting early in a possible war career. Besides having a famous general as a father, Arthur’s grandfather, a Civil war veteran after whom he is named, commanded a Manila brigade in 1898 when U. S. forces captured that city. When war broke out in the Philippines little Arthur and his mother, the former Miss Jean Faircloth of Murfreesboro, Tenn., were reported safe on the island. The next word that came through as to their whereabouts was when their arrival in Australia with the general and his staff was an nounced. mission in 1905-’O6. On three dif ferent occasions he saw extended army service in the Philippines. In 1935 he went to Manila as the commonwealth’s president, Manuel Quezon’s military adviser. That his advisory capacity to President Quezon was of a success ful nature is now seen in the suc cessful manner in which American troops, Philippine scout profession als, and Filipino reservists, under his command, fought. So, at the age of 50, after many years of active service, it looked as though General MacArthur’s mili tary life was at an end. It seemed that he was then destined for ob scurity after being chief of staff for five years. But, it has often been stated, that it is the seemingly lit tle incidents in a person’s life which eventually develop into significant, extremely important matters. What would have happened had MacAr thur, upon being “retired," not been sent to the Philippines to shape up a military force there is impossible to say. Once again, MacArthur’s life is showing that fact is oftentimes more interesting than fiction. Here, in MacArthur, you see a story book ; Mrs. Douglas MacArthur It is now up to her husband . . . : soldier, cool, even tempered, poised, admired by his staff and men, pre paring to do a titanic job despite . heavy odds against it. ! Even the general’s air-flight of I 2,000 miles to Australia had a touch » of the dramatic to it. For the zone f over which he and his officers and - aides flew in two planes, has 3 been conceded as being the “hot i spot” of the southwest Pacific. This is the zone where both enemy and I Allied planes are continually on the 3 alert. Fighters, bombers, and in i terceptors, always ready for bal -3 tie. When you look at a map and f see the territory you will fully real ize that MacArthur has not lost any of his boldness. It is such dar j ing, skill, and calm that has put all j the confidence of the Allied nations’ ( people directly on his shoulders. The Yanks, and Aussies, being what I they are in temperament, and dis position as to being ready for a fight [ at all times, now have a man at. their leader they know will not fail ! them. Congressmen Behind Him, Too. That this attitude even goes fox officials and congressmen in the na i tion’s capital is noted in the com ment of various congressmen on the day that MacArthur’s safe arrival was announced in a special official war department communique. Sen. Millard E. Tydings, (D., Md.) said that Australia now has real leader ship . . that he was very happy to know that MacArthur was down there where a man such as he is needed. Rep. Joseph J. Mansfield, (D., Texas) put in a comment which all Americans fully understand. He said that MacArthur is sure going to “raise hell” with the Japs pro viding we can keep him supplied with a continuous line of supplies and men. House Minority Leader Joseph W. Martin (R., Mass.), said he was l happy to hear of the famous sol dier’s appointment. He further add . ed that such an appointment will I add to the confidence of the Ameri . can people. The day that MacArthur’s appoint ment, and successful flight to Aus tralia was announced, the President in his press conference also had words of encouragement for the I American people. He said that the t purpose of the transfer was not to develop further defensive measures, • but primarily, and definitely to “win ■ the war.” President Roosevelt said at that conference that he felt, too, that every American man and worn - an held the same admiration for the fighting, brilliant general that he held.
